Hello folks, I have been waiting to ride my new resident 1980 R65 with less than 10,000 miles on it. It was a beautiful day. I started the bike which needs a bit of adjustment as it won't stay running. I was annoyed but figured a 30 minute rip would clean out the webs. I went to put in gear and it won't engage at all. The bike has been sitting for awhile but was serviced by Max BMW in CT. before I bought it.. I removed a Vetter fairing the PO had put on it, got all the bits and pieces, bucket, new winkers up front as well as a new bucket holder, did some wiring and I was ready. I have searched the forum and will make some clutch adjustments to see if that helps but would that really make a difference? I am new to BMW's having Honda Goldwing GL1000's forever so I know nothing about these. I just wanted a simple machine to be-bop around town. Any suggestions? I figure start with the simple things first and hope for the best. My day was not ruined as I took out my new Resto Mod GL1000 and had a blast...I will be focusing on this now. Thanks in advance!
